And people wonder why the United States of America is getting worse each day instead of better!

Republican Senator Ted Cruz said on Fox News: “What does this mean for the midterms in a year? It’s going to be a turnout election, and the left will show up. Hate is a powerful motivator. They hate President Trump.”

IMO, my response to this is: individuals (especially Trump and others both parties) cause their own problems by the things they say and do!  And yet they blame others!  SO SAD and SO TRUE!  It's called passing the blame and it's so sad what the world has become today because of these types of individuals instead of working to make things better by making better choices when dealing with the issues at hand.  FYI, years ago, politicians agreed to disagree and yet more often than not, things didn't get personal like they are today.  They had dinner together afterwards and went on with their lives and resumed their political differences on the floor of government instead of the press. 

Here we go again with the word "HATE"!  And this comes from an individual who is elected to make America better!  We all agree to disagree on things in life especially politics.  However, everyone (both left and right) have to stop using the work "HATE" regardless of how much individuals dislike what is going on in the world today.  The word "HATE" causes other things that happen in the world including destruction of property, injuries, and death!  Is it so difficult for people educated and otherwise to use different words to describe their displeasure when there can be consequences for these words and actions that can occur!

FYI, for those that might not (will not) acknowledge this, there are “HATE” crimes which carry stiffer jail time if done for a particular reason against individuals, groups, etc.!!

Tony needs to start to be more of a businessman, cut his numbers back and get rid of the dead wood. He's not looking for overnight horses and that's what he's got now. The 2 farms has to be a big burden not just monetarily. I think his Ky property is far easier to sell than Tullo's, but the future is Ky not NJ. Long term he's going to be better off to get out of NJ. Even if he has to take a loss, better to bite the bullet now, He also doesn't train at Sunshine Meadows anymore, which was far less stressful and he had a audience that he doesn't have in NJ

I also think the pressure of producing top stakes juveniles leads to overclassificatio n. Pelling starts many in the TSS series or other grassroot programs until they develop and show they can go with the big dogs. Tony time  and again throws them to the wolves way too early and stunt their development. Whether its owners who want the recognition of racing in the big races, he's got to judge his stock more adeptly.

I see lines on a few horses who look like they have a bit of ability and only have 10k on their card when they might have 50-60k if they were managed better and find softer spots to make money.

Yonkers business;
Queens;
Steve Cohen's casino will keep customers off the expensive Whitestone and Throgs Neck bridges, sorry Yonkers
Nassau County;
Runs through Queens
Swamp;
Few New Jersey customers will pass The Bronx for Yonkers anymore
New York City;
Gotta pass The Bronx before they get to Westchester!

Yonkers should lose a minimum of 40% of its business and possibly 60%

purses may be like they were pre-casino

it was a good run and it ends when these new casino's are up and running

I thought when the Aqueduct casino opened that Yonkers did a weak job marketing to their Brooklyn/Queens/Long Island customers to continue trekking to YR.
They should have been aggressive with their free play and free food mailings to keep them coming back instead of going to the more convenient Big A.

BTW - I thought the Yonkers casino was ghetto until I visited Aqueduct....holy fuck
